GPT-4o mini · Answer

The most accurate statement from the options provided is: "The Mayan writing system was the most evolved in the Americas."

While it is true that the Mayan writing system is one of the most sophisticated and complex writing systems developed in pre-Columbian America, it would be misleading to assert that it was more advanced than all Eurasian cultures, as advancements in writing systems vary widely and depend on different contexts.

The other statements would require clarification:

While much of the Mayan written records were impacted during Spanish conquests, not all evidence of the writing system was completely destroyed.
The Mayan writing system is not widely used today; it has largely been replaced by modern languages and scripts, although some aspects of the culture and history are maintained.

Thus, the best choice among the provided options is that it was the most evolved in the Americas.
